3D Model View App for iOS - three-D model viewer for iPad

3D Model View for iOS is a feature-rich three-D model viewer with texture support for some popular 3D CAD file formats. This iPad 3d model viewer works on iPhone as well, but due to the screen size it works best on an iPad. Files can be opened in 3D Model View using URL's of many of the online 3D model repositories.In Safari: Open in -> 3D Model View. 3D Model View also supports selecting supported file types from DropBox or using AirDrop to send files to the iOS device.Get impressions of this 3d ios app works on our '3d model viewer ipad' demo video's page.

File formats

Currently the following 3d model formats are supported:

Wavefront OBJ/MTL files (obj viewer)*

3DS files

STL files (no smoothing)

PLY ascii files (binary coming in next release)

limited import of OBJ8 archives

Zip archives containing files of supported file formats + textures

RAR archives containing files of supported file formats + textures

*The most convenient way is to zip these files into one archive and AirDrop the archive to the iPad.MTL files are saved to a folder with the same name. If an OBJ file arealy exists in this folder, the MTL file will be matched to the OBJ file.

During import, 3D Model View attempts to fix a number of common problems found in many of these files:

truncated texture names in 3DS files

missing surface or vertex normals.

local texture file paths that are only valid on the system of the maker of the file.
